d The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent andfmaking part ofthe same.

To all @thorn it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN W. KENNY and JOHNADAMS, of Albany, in the county of Albany and State of New York, haveinvented a new and irnproved Hair-Gulden; and we do hereby declare thatthe v following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,

which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use thesame,reference being had to the accompany-` ing drawing forming spart of thisspecication.

Our invention relates to curling-irons, and our object is to makecertain.improvements'thereon, which will first be described inconnection with Vall that is necessary to a ,full understandingthereof'. and then clearly pointed out inthe claim. 4

The drawing is aa Sect-ionalelevation of our improved curlinginstrument. y y

A is the curling-cylinder, which we propose to make of thinsh'eet-metahsaytin, rolled up into the form of' a tube, closed atV theend B and open at the other, where it is provided with an internalscrew-thread, C.

D is a heating-rod, `of iron, made considerably smaller than'the tube,`and attached to the handle E, which` has ascrew-thread at Fitting thethread G,

and screwing so as to make a water-tight joint.'

We employ this thin hollow curling instrument for the purpose of heatingit readily by means of water placed in it, and the heated rod D plungedinto the water and screwed into theA tube; also, for providing a heatthat will not burn the hair, which is common when the cui-1ers areheated in thel ordinary way.

G is a thimble or sleeve, which `we fit onto the small end of the tubefor slipping on over the end of the lock of hair, to confine and hold itwhile curling.

Having thus described our invention, We claim ns new and 'de-sire tosecure by'Letters 'Patent- 1. The tube A, closed at and internallythreaded at C, combined, with a handle, E, correspondingly threaded, andhaving the heating-rod D thereto attached, as and for the purposedescribed.

2. The combination with a curling-iron tube A, of

the loose hair-holding tube G, arranged as and for the purposedescribed. Y
